I hear silent whispers and loud cries from different parts of the Northern Hemisphere, the cold and darkness is starting to take its toll on the human body and mind.We can't settle with that, there are some easy ways to help ourselves, Light a candle, put some orange and lime essential oils in the diffuser, inhale and let the entire system light up. Both the aroma and the candle light sends messages to our brain of wellbeing. To clear up a stuffy nose do not forget eucalyptus and peppermint.Drink a hot cup of tea, make sure cinnamon and cardamom is included for the extra bonus of circulation, strengthening, digestion and harmonizing. If you get close to anyone with flu, find some Elderberry extract, take for 3 days and it will most probably keep you healthy.

Hello Camilla!!!
Congratulations on your blog...its wonderful!!!
I need some advice from you. I rarely get any deep REM sleep because I have to wake up frequently to turn Taylor in the night since she can't turn herself.
I am soooo tired all the time. Of course some weeks are better than others, and if I exercise I of course feel better, but there are times when I am so tired from no sleep, I just cant do anything. Then when I do try to sleep I cant. Its a vicious circle.
So my natural healing friend, what can I take to increase my energy, and then what can I also take to help me sleep when I find the time to do it?
All my love to the family!

Hi, so nice to hear from you wonderful person! It is the worst torture not to get enough sleep!
My first question is, if there ever is any Juanita time? Is there any time when you ALLOW yourself to totally and completely relax and let go of all thinking?
By giving yourself some time your body will be able to do some of the self healing it is supposed to do during the night, as well as you give your brain time to deal with some of the things that is going on inside of you.
Get regular massage.
I also believe Chlorella supplement can help you in a way where it cleanse, refresh and balance your system, and by doing this the body is given more energy.
Valeriana root is a very gentle herb you to use when you have the possibilty to rest, it is calming without being notably sedative and is practically non-addictive, so you can safely use it.
Try these if you haven't already, and let me know how it works.
Love and hugs,
camilla
